Spoilers below for anyone who hasn’t yet watched Pluribus’ latest episode via Apple TV subscription, so be warned!
For the bulk of Pluribus’ first season so far, we’ve stuck with Rhea Seehorn’s character as the sole human focus, surrounded as she may often be by the hive-minded Others. But Episode 6, “HDP,” took audiences to Las Vegas to spend some quality time with another final vestige of humanity, Samba Schutte’s advantageous Koumba Diabaté, whose glass-always-full perspective stands in contrast to Carol’s more disagreeable and curmudgeonly ways. Of all the episode’s highlights, perhaps the most unexpected was…[checks notes]...oh yeah, John Cena!
